Having A Ball's New Creation

30, Flirth and Fabulous!!

This past weekend my bestie Becky or as her finance and I like to call her "Betsty" turned the big 30 so we headed to Ruidoso to celebrate this momentus occasion! We stayed in amazing cabin with an amazing view and had enjoyed the wildlife. This deer loved us and loved to come up to our cabin for a little bread! I am pretty sure I saw the biggest elk I have ever seen. The only downfall is that my hubby was working so he couldn't go. We bowled it up and by the way I am pretty sure I was the worst bowler out out of the whole bunch but I did make up for my bowling loss when we headed to the casino. I played a little craps and walked away with a little money. Becky got lots of great presents!!! It was a wonderful weekend!! Makes me what to turn 30 all over again!!

The soon to be in September Martins

Stori and the Birthday Girl

We can't watch this

Okay so I had to share this because it’s way to cute!!. Cole is at home with Eric this week while daddy is on his days off. I call to check on my boys to see how their afternoon is going and eric tells me they are watching Ice Age (the third one) and the part comes up were Scrat and the girl squirrel are dancing and then they kiss . Eric looks over and Cole has put his hands up to his eyes and says “Daddy I can’t watch this” then he proceeds to put his other hand on Eric’s eyes and says “Daddy you can watch this either. I love it I am glad someone is keeping us in line. Out of the mouths of babes!!

Trust in the Lord

I was reminded this morning of my favorite bible verse, Proverbs 3:5-6, as I was taking Cole to daycare this morning, terrified wondering if I was going to make it without my car flooding out and stalling in this torrential downpour. I was thinking to myself am I going make it, please let me make; the rain was so loud hitting the car I couldn’t hear myself think. I realized Cole is sitting there quietly watching his Bionicle movie without fear out just trusting and knowing that Mommy is going to get me to school today safely just like she does everyday. It reminded me of why we ever doubt or our Heavenly Father. Eric and I have been trying for baby number two for over a year now and haven’t been successful. Every month passes with the disheartening knowledge that another month has come and I am still not pregnant. This morning was a reminder to me to always trust in Him. He has a plan. He will always guide us in the right direction even if it may not be the direction we want to take. He will always answer or not answer your prayer with your best interest at heart. I am say thankful to have my Heavenly Father by my side. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your path straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Our little man is all grown up

I am happy and sad to say that our little man is officially sleeping in his own bed now; to some this may no seem like no big deal but for us as well as Cole this is a pretty big feat. He has pretty much been sleeping in the bed with us since he was baby and I never thought we would make it to this. I will say this is not all entirely his fault as Eric and I both loved him in the bed with us but we have now for almost two weeks had him in his bed. It's a bittersweet milestone in the Neatherlin house but I am so proud of him!!!

A New Year

Well it's almost the midlde of January and I can't believe it. We ended 2009 with great friends and family and are looking forward to wonderful 2010. I have posted a few pics below. yes I know they are small. My news resolution is to get organzied(we will see how long that lasts). I am hoping and praying God will bless us this year with a little one. We are working towards getting Cole to sleep in his own bed (yes I know he still sleeps with us but I just love him snuggled up next to me) So far he starts out in his bed then about 3:00 gets in the bed with us. Baby steps!!! Becky and my side bizz has been quite a success and we are looking towards and even better year. Valentines cake ball pics coming soon!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year but of course it always goes by way to fast. Here are few pics and as always thanks to my sis in laws I wouldn't have any if it werent for them!! Cole was a blast this year since he is a little older however we tried hard not to make Christmas all about presents and more about the gift of our Savior. Try getting a three year old to understand that admist the sea of presents. We thought he would be all into Santa and discoverd we should do it Christmas morning and not Christmas Eve as he was exhausted from the day and was very calm about ole St. Nick coming to visit. We will know better next year.

2009 definitley has had it ups and downs however overall we have been so blessed. I am looking towards an even better 2010
